To all 'whom' it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, MICHAEL HBERLE, citizen of the United .'States,residing. at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State 0f New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pivoted SlidingWind0ws,of which the following is a specification. A l

My invention relates to a construction of window sashes, andparticularly to those windows whereinthe sashes are pivoted to slides topermit an independent angular movement of the sash, the object of theinvention being toprovide weather stripping located between' theslideand the wlndow frame.

My present invention is an improvement on the form of window shown in mypatent for window sash, No. 645,357, issued to me March 13, 1900, andcomprises, generally speaking, a window frame having the usual exteriorand interior stops and a middle parting bead, the sash space between theparting bead `and the stops being provided with a longitudinallyextending, inwardly projecting strip of metal having an overturnedinterlocking edge, the upper and lower sashes each having opposed slideplates to which the sashes are slide plates being each formed with ametal strip on its edges, which is so bent as to have a sllding andinterlocking engagement with the adjacent strip on the window frame.This construct-ion provides sashes which are slidable in the frame, asin the ordinary sash, and which are pivoted to the slides of` each sashso that the inward when desired.

For a full understanding of the invention and the merit-s thereof, andto acquire a knowledge of the details of construction,

reference is to be had to the following description and accompanyingdrawings, in which:

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the followingdescription and indicated theviews of the drawings bythe same referencecharacters. w

Referring to the figures, it will be seen that the frame of the windowis formed of a j amb A, the inner facing A2,v the outer facing A3 andthe back strip A4 pocket, wherein the sash weights are carried andmoved. The jainb A is provided with the interior stopvstrip B, thepartin strip C and the exterior stop which'is formec by the projectingmargin of theouter face A3, channels E and F being thus formed for theupper and lower sashes, as is usual in the strip D being loin closing acat-ed between the parting strip C andthe stop to form ,the inner face'of the channel F, this strip D being made in two sections, as will belater described. Each of the channels has attached to its face the-longitudinally extending strip 2 which extends the whole length of theframe and has the outwardl, projecting 'marginal ange 3 whose e ge isvoutwardly and inwardly turned or bent 'upon itself, as at 4.' This edge,however, does not contact with the outer face of the strip 2, as shownin section 1n Fig. 4.v At its upper end, each of the channels E and F isprovided with the usual pulley over whichK the window cord passes. v

Sliding within each of the channels E and F, is a shde 5, preferablymade of metal and of a -Width equal to that of the channel in which itmoves. Each slide, on its inner edge, is formed with the inwardlyprojecting flange 6, and on its inner face withgthe inwardly projectingop osed but parallel flanges 7 and 8, these anges being spaced apart adistance sufficient to permit them to move easily in the space betweenthe inturned flange 4 and the'adjacent face of the window frame.

9 designates a metallic'strip of a'length equal to that of the slide 5which is approximately S-shaped in cross section, the body yportion 10of which `is adapted to be carried in the space between the two"-flanges7 and r8 and to be wedged therein by a strip of wood or other suitablematerial 1l which is held in place by screwsor pins 12 inserted `throughthe outer face of theilange 7. The

inside margin 0f the strip 9 extends across the edge of the flange 8 andis then bent outwardly, though slightly spaced from the margin 12extends beneath the inwardly bent Vmargin 4 of the strip 2, and hastherefore an interlocking engagement therewith which, while permittingthe slide 5 to move u and down 1n its channel, willprevent the shde frombeing withdrawn from the channel. Y j

The lower end of the sash is pivoted to Athe slide 5, as by a pininserted from the inside face of the slide and entering the sidel bar Gof the sash. In order to form a weather-proof engagement between theside bars G and the slide 5, I form the outer face of the slide 5 withthe outwardly projecting edge flange 13 and the outwardly projectingmarginal ange 14. This latter flange only projects a slight distancebeyond thefaceof the slide 5, ward suiiicient so that itsu edge 1s on alevel with the face of the stop A3 or the strip C. Carried between theflanges 13 and 14 is the weather strip 15. The body of this strip liesagainst the face of the slide 5 between the flanges 13 and 14, but itsedge is outwardly turned, as at416, and'then inwardly bent, as at 17,and folded over. The plane of this fold 17 is exterior to the planeintersecting the ed e face of the iange 14. The inner face o the sidebar G of the window is cut away as at 18, and is further cut away as at19 so as to afford a face which is lower than the face of the cut-awayportion 18. Attached to the '.face of the cut-away portion 18, is thestrip 20 which, at its margin, is inwardly folded over upon itself as at21. It will be seen fromy Fig. 4 that when the sash is closed intoparallelism with the slide 5, the margin of the strip 2O will enterbeneath the inwardly turned fold 17 of the strip 15 and will contacttherewith along its whole extent, thus making a weather' strip whichprevents the entrance of dirt, dust or moisture through the jointbetween the sash bar G and the slide 5. vIt will also be seen that theportion 19 which is cut away from the inner corner of the sash bar G,ac-v commodates the inwardly turned fold 17 when the sash bar is closed.While the strip 18 may be attached in any desired manner, preferably Ihold it in place by a longitudinal flat bar 22 attached by screws tothe' outer face of the sashbar.

Provision must be-,made Jforjholding the sash in locked engagement withits slide 5, and to this end I form the inner face of i each of theslides with the opening 24 which is preferably elongated -or a purposeto be later stated. Operating through each of the sash bars G is a bolt25 which extends plate 22, the sash bar being recessed to receive thebolt and also to receive a coil spring v26 which engages with the boltand acts to normally force it outward and into locked position withrewhile the flange 13 projects out- .are attached to the block 29, thesash gard tothe slide 5. The inner end of the i.

bolt is beveled so that as the sash is forced inward, the beveled faceof the bolt will enga e with the edge of the slide 5, and the' bolt willbe forced inward'until it registers with the opening 24, .when the sprin26 will force the bolty outward into its loc ing engagement. The end ofeach bolt projects beyond the inner face of the sash bar G and haspivoted thereto an eccentric 27 with a thumb-piece whereby it may beeasily operated. This eccentric acts, when turned 1n one position, towithdraw the bolt from engagement with the slide 5, and in the otherpositionto permit the bolt to. engage with the slide. Y

The inner face of each of the slides 5 is longitudinally slotted, as' at28, this -slot extending from the elongated openin L24 downward towardthe lower end of the s ide. Shiftable in the slot 28 is the slidingblock 29 which' is shown in detail in Fig. 6.- This sliding block is ofa thickness equal tothe slot 28, has the laterally projecting baseviianges 30 and the head 31. At its lower end, Athe block is provided,with the outwardly projecting stud 32 which is of a thickness corresonding to the block 29, but is relativelyllong and has the inwardlybeveled ends 33. The inner face of the block is provided with the hook34 which is to be engaged by the weight cord 35. Pivotally attached' tothe sides of the sash bar G are the braces 36 which at their upper endsare formed with eyes. 37 adapted to engage with the stud 32 so as tohave rota-- `tive movement thereon. As will be seen 1n Fig. 5, the eyes37 are approximately cir-v cular andv formed with countersunk edgesadapted to engage with the beveled endsf33 of the stud 32. The eyes are,however, elongated transversely to the axis of the brace, so that vwhenthe brace is turned to a osition at right, angles with the longitu alaxis of the slide, the brace may be disengaged from the stud 32. It willbe obvious from the drawings that this position of the brace withrelation to the slide cannot occur as long as the other end of the braceis attached to the window sash. By detaching the outer end of the brace,however, it may be turned up into this position and be disengaged fromthe block 29.v It will be seen that because of the fact that the sashweightl'- be supported andthe weights will act normally to draw the sashinto parallelism with the slides 5. Therefore, means must be proend issmall enough to permit the perforations of the locking rod 38 to beadjusted over it. It will thus be seenthat the lower window sash may beopened inward and *held adjusted in any vposition desired, de-

pendin upon the length of the rod 38'. The ro 38 is held in place uponthe meeting rail H by means of astud. j

A Whilethe elongated opening 24 permits the easy attachment of the outerend ofthe weight chain to the slide 5, and thereforer to the windowsash, it is also necessary to provide means for quickly attaching theinner end of the sash cord or in case the sash cord breaks or it isdesired to put in a new sash cord. To this end., I provide a removablesection at the lower end of the window frame, at each side thereof, thissection forming a continuation of the strip B. This section isdesignated K, and consists of the lower section of the-strip C and astrip K which, as before-stated, is a. continuation of they strip AA',at right angles thereto, and which forms the face of the lower end ofthe channel' F. This strip is formed with a tongue 43 adapted to bereceived within a groove 44 extending longitudinally along the innerface of the stop A3.. -This section K ,normally vcloses an opening L inthe facing board A, which permits the hand to be inserted from the frontof the window frame, behind the same, and permits. the ready detachmentof the weight cords from the weights on that side of the frame. Ofcourse, norma the section K closes this opening entirely, the sectionbeing held in place by screws 45 insertedthrough the section Kandentering the board A.

It will be seen that the upper sashis narrower than the width of thelower sash, by the thickness ofthe pieces D. This is in order to permitof the turning inward and downward of the upper sash 'when required,which could not be accomplished if the outer sash were of the same widthas the inner, as will be readily understood.

The sashes can be slid up and down in their channels E and F, in theusual manner, but when itis desired to gain access to the glass panesfor cleaning or other pur oses, or when it is required to secure asullibient ventilation, both sashes can be turned inward and downward,the sashes being held at the required elevation and open the sashes,which prevents the admission j ambsof the chain to the weight,

at the desired angular adjustment by reason of theof dust or moisture,the. interlocking engagement between the slides and the metal stripscarried in the sash channels forming a weather strip between the slidesand the window.'

It will be seen that inasmuch as the window frame is of ordinaryconstruction, my invention can be readily applied to window fra-mes inhouses or dwellings already erected, without requiring change oralteration in the construction of the window.
